Dark Light featured in De Tijd: Shedding Light on the Data Darkness
We’re proud to share that Dark Light was recently featured in the business newspaper De Tijd, in the Young Talent section of WAW!, where promising entrepreneurs share their story.
In the interview, Paul Lepoutre (39) and Yunes Lemhouer (28) explain how we help companies unlock the full potential of their data. As Paul puts it:
“We try to bring light into the data darkness.”
What we do
Dark Light helps companies create better insights from their data. We provide the right data experts for every challenge, from predictive models to reporting and data platforms. A few examples of projects our consultants have delivered:
- A model for a telecom company to predict customer churn.
- A tool for an energy supplier to estimate how much energy to purchase and at what price.
- Analyses for a Belgian top football club to understand exactly what fans spend their money on.
Our growth and ambitions
Since our founding in 2021, we have grown to €6 million in revenue and a team of six permanent employees and around fifty freelancers. In 2023, Yunes joined as a partner, giving our growth an extra boost.
Our ambition? Within five years, to become the centre of expertise for data & business intelligence in Belgium, and to expand into several neighbouring countries. As Yunes says:
“Got a data question? Contact Dark Light.”
Milestones and successes
- Acquisition of Deltasearch in 2024.
- Nominated for Belgian Tech Startup Company of the Year 2025 (Data News).
- Collaborations with Colruyt, Cegeka, Fluvius, Telenet, Plopsa, Ahlers, Delaware, Hubo, TVH, Ravago, Degroof Petercam and VDAB.
The power of data, amplified by AI
We see the AI revolution not as a threat, but as an opportunity. Without good, accessible data, AI is powerless — and that’s exactly where we make the difference: we make sure the foundations are right.
